Does prioritizing work truly make one's life more meaningful? Does being productive for a company (less abstractly, for someone else, whoever owns the capital) really give life purpose?
Work that is not benefitting your community and strengthening the bonds between others is worth putting off for a ten minute phone call with those who love you.
No one has made the claim that it would be fine if only men with small hands were negatively affected. The focus is on women in this instance for one reason: the data gathered and referred to in the comment you so disingenuously took offense to shows that women are disproportionately affected by this issue. Are men with small hands also affected? Yes, but that is not an identity half of the people on this planet identify with. I'd hazard to guess there are not a great deal of people who feel defined by the size of their hands (or discriminated against systematically).
Fortunately breaking down this barrier benefits everyone, regardless of sex. Feminism benefits all.
This is an incredibly callous and sad way to think of the well-being of other human beings. Helping another person as they struggle with their mental health shouldn't be an investment, something you expect to extract value from later; you help someone through difficult times because you care about them and love them. It's something you should do out of the goodness of your heart.
Viewing all of your relationships as investments is selfish, hurtful, and will very likely result in a very lonely life for you
